Top Employer: Compulsion Games ULC

I know US workers have it rough with paid vacation days but I expected Canada to be not just a little better but a whole lot better. Three weeks (I guess that translates to 15 working days if you're on a 5-day-week?) is still very low.

God I would love 3 three weeks….or even paternity leave lol. Had to use both of my vacation weeks for when my daughter was born.
